New Haven Hospitals

If you’re a woman considering adoption, you’ll work your adoption specialist to create a hospital plan, which is essentially a more detailed birthing plan.

If you’re an adoptive family traveling from out of town to meet your newest family member, this will most likely take place in the Yale New Haven Health system.

New Haven Courts

Before a New Haven adoption is complete, the adoptive family must go before a judge for an adoption finalization hearing. The judge will hear the adoption case, ensure that everything is in order and that the adoption is in the child’s best interests, and grant permanent custody to the adoptive parents. This hearing will take place in Geographical Area 23 at New Haven.
